Hello, I’m new here and a little scared. I’m having THR of my left hip on March 29th, so I have 3 weeks to wait. I am 45 years old and about two years ago I had a bad accident where I tripped on an uneven surface. I initially thought I had just pulled my groin, then I thought it had aggravated a prior back injury. However, about a month ago I lost the ability to walk more than a few steps and my MRI showed that my posterior and anterior labrum is completely torn out of the joint at this point. I am now scheduled for the “muscle sparing” THR. I just found out 2 days ago. My right anterior labrum is torn also, but that joint is still intact for now.
Luckily, I have been able to bring my dogs and come stay with my mother about two hours north of where I live in Miami. I have already been here for a month and I am having the surgery up here. I am also fortunate to have a job I work online and I don’t have to go back in person until September due to COVID. It is a good job with benefits and I know I am fortunate to receive the care I am getting. I have much to be grateful for. Still, I want to go home and live my life as usual. I am struggling not to slip into depression. I need support and so I found this forum.
I hope this isn’t too much for my first post. This is my first time joining a forum like this. I was very excited to find it and I think it’s going to help me as I’m waiting for surgery and during my recovery. Thanks for reading my post
